Recovery Begins Here

Many people grab kratom in passing at a gas station or corner store, not realizing how addictive it can be. If this feels familiar, know that you’re not alone. Many people have faced similar struggles, and many have gone on to find recovery. 

Kratom is a plant that contains several active compounds, including 7‑hydroxymitragynine (7‑OH), which can be highly addictive. 7‑OH is an opioid‑like alkaloid found in the plant, and when it’s isolated or concentrated, it becomes far more potent, and this is what makes it so addictive. Many products containing concentrated 7-OH are still labeled as kratom, making the risks harder to recognize. And because kratom products can have such strong effects, repeated use can cause the brain to rely on them and develop into dependence and eventually addiction. 

If you or a loved one is struggling with kratom misuse, our team at Jackson House Recovery Centers is here to help you overcome addiction and begin a safe path toward recovery.

Kratom Addiction Symptoms

Kratom and 7-OH addiction can cause a range of mental, physical, and behavioral symptoms that may get worse over time.

Mental symptoms can include:

  • Strong cravings
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Mood swings

Physical symptoms can include:

  • Sleep disturbances
  • Nausea 
  • Weight loss
  • Digestive issues
  • Tremors

Behavioral symptoms can include:

  • Emotional outbursts 
  • Social withdrawal

Signs of 7-OH Addiction

Dependence on kratom can fly under the radar because these products are legal and largely unregulated. You may have picked up a kratom or 7-OH product at a local gas station to sleep better or manage stress and anxiety, without realizing the risks. 

Here are common signs that your use may be turning into dependence:

Strong cravings

Increased tolerance

Neglecting responsibilities

Withdrawal symptoms when not using 

Using higher doses
